Keep. It. Real. Housewives.

By Artistry

Sometimes the gap between "The Bachelor: After the Final Rose" and the season premiere of "The Bachelorette" can seem like an eternity. It leaves you feeling a little empty. It's sort of like if your youngest child left home for good, and you knew you had to wait for two whole months until that child decided to drop out of school and move back in with you. It's just a hard transition. So we asked our Facebook followers to suggest the reality show they'd like to see us use to fill the vacuum, and the response has been overwhelming. Two people suggested we cover one of the "Real Housewives" programs on Bravo. GTOG is not about to ignore that kind of mandate.

We're going to give "Real Housewives of New York City" a shot. Here's the issue: it's already Season 4. We've got some catching up to do. I don't want to offend anyone, but you might be in the same boat. That's why beginning Friday and continuing through the season premiere on April 7, our special guest blogger, the very funny and talented Sheer Elegance, will give us the lowdown on all of the key players. Yes, she sounds like a shampoo, and yes, you're going to like her. As for the show itself, no idea what we're getting ourselves into here. But we'll be in it together.
